Friday, Our last day in the Valley of Peace.

Cockateels

Today we loaded up the vehicles and headed to the site of the house for a dedication. When we got there everyone took a tour of the house.

The Sapenfields. What a great family!

Then we had a little dedication service with Brad Ingram, and the committee leader Milkar, and the family members of the household. It was great.

Then we all encircled the house, holding and and then we all prayed outloud simultaneously. That was incredible. To our ears it sounded like Chaos, but to God, I’m sure it was pure harmony.

Then we moved to the Soccer field for a completion.

The final score was 5 to 2, so we at least scored against them, so it was not as bad as it might have been. The field was very soggy, and the rains came, so we cut short the game.

Kent, Jason, Ron, and I then finished install 4 windows in the ‘building’ next to the new house.

Just as we were finishing, the bottom fell out of the clouds again, and we scrambled to get everything loaded into the bus. We were pretty soaked by the time we finished.

After loading up we headed into Belmapan to eat at the ‘Mercado’. This was fun, but again it started to rain, and we were slowed down.

By the time we finished lunch, it was too late to get into the Mayan ruins, so Kent led us on a tour of the Mennonite country side. We stopped at a local Ice cream shop made with fresh milk from the dairy right next door.

Finally back to the Banana Bank lodge for dinner, which just happened to be by candlelight since the electricity went out.

For prayer requests, one of ther cooks burned her arm tonight pretty badly. Twyla bandaged her up and help get dinner out to us, so please pray for her.

Also pray for traveling saftgey as we leave early in the morning to go to Spanish Lookout Caye, and for the emotions that everyone is feeling as we leave these people.
